The 1156 pin CPUs only support 1* 16 lane PCI-E or 2 8 8 lane at best, but if the motherboard has USB 3.0 expect that to be cut down to 8 + 4 so you're better off with a single fast card with that CPU. Also have you heard of Fermi? http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3721 512SP etc etc for the price of two GTX 265s and will be blazingly fast. |

No it isn't. It has had a six month delay due to incompetent engineering, epic die size so really hard to manufacture, abysmal yields, missed clock targets by 25%, and is the hottest graphics card ever made. I will be amazed if it beats the 5870 by 20%, yet they can't sell it profitably for anything less than $550. It's going to lose heavily on price/performance to the 5870.
Oh, and only 448 shaders on the launch model.
The author has been correct on every count about Nvidia graphics for almost two years now from early in GT200 development to today. Bumpgate, Ion 2 being a G310, the GT21x delays and cancellations, the Fermi delays (predicted March launch a year ago when everyone else was saying Q3), the fake Fermi boards at GTC, the recent shortages of GT200b parts, the exit of Nvidia from the chipset business... all written up well before it was clear to anyone else.
